4.Saquon Barkley with an unreal play

There really are few people like Saquon Barkley out there. The running back is back to his old self and we’re seeing that in a big way in 2022. Take the showdown against Chicago for example, as Barkley had another strong game, but people are going to be talking about one play in particular for a while.

On one third down play, Barkley looked like he was going to be stopped way behind the line of scrimmage and also come up way short of the first down. No. 26 had other ideas in this case, though, as he somehow managed to stay on his feet after catching a screen pass from Jones and he made Bears defenders look silly. Not only that, straight out of a video game, Barkley then broke outside and pushed forward.

In astonishing fashion, and thanks to a great block from Jones, Barkley got more than enough for the first down. Seriously, how in the heck was he able to pull this off? There aren’t many RBs in the game who would be able to record this kind of a play. Barkley is built different, though, there’s no question about that.
